I have to admit that i have always had an issue with nash and the poor quality stuff that they churn out

I bought a scope transporter 2 months ago because to be fair to them, i liked the design

190 quid and two trips in, one of the zips has failed and one of the carry handles has almost completely come away

Utter utter garbage company

Reels are a fairly specialist bit of engineering. Stick to a company that has a history making them and gears etc

Nash cant even produce a zip that works

Are the Scope reels really that poor, as I love the concept?

I had a Titan TC Pro, brilliant, only rods I own now are Scope 10ft 2.75's, 4.5lb spod, brilliant, 6ft Sorn off, brilliant. Scope rod bags, twin and singles, spot on. Do have Shimmys on the 10 foots but a BP-6 on the Sorn off, never had a problem with that either. Had the R3's for a while, bought second hand and never missed a beat. And other odd bits of luggage with no problem. So from my experience, never had a problem with Nash gear.

The older members will remember Badger reels, Nash are probably on a par.

I have a pal that bought a badger rod back in the day. First cast and the tip broke off
True story.
